main entrance through the exterior part of the
wall which had been built up and the scarce:

height of wall remaining on the exterior is 5' - 6'.
Within the interior are the remains of various
small enclosures formed of flags set on

on the NE [North East] are the remains of an outer wall and
at 16' back from the broch the face of a wall
concentric with the main structure has been
exposed for a distance of some 24' and is
